Jobs That Pay a Family-Sustaining Wage (%)

Percent of total jobs that pay a family-sustaining wage (defined as two working adults with two children); i.e., share of total employment/jobs in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area that has a mean hourly wage equal to or greater than the living wage from the MIT index.

Why is this metric important?
Family sustaining wages promote economic security and mobility for households, and prevent individuals from needing to have multiple jobs.
